    With such a miniscule population to secure the prestigious award Padma Bhushan for 3% amongst the awardees is indeed laudable and a great achievement.

    I fully agree with Dorab here. B.P.P. which considers this entrepreneur godsent saviour of our community and attributes him with having done a lot for the community should instantly represent to Ministry of Minority Affairs for causing affront of the community by ovelooking this ‘gem’

    Oh just forgot to add here. For purposes of representation, BPP Chairmen can seek help of Dadi from Delhi Anjuman
